Here are 5 channels to directly access insider information from Silicon Valley—this is the cognitive dividend for ordinary people to make a comeback!

This is a very low-threshold but extremely profitable "information arbitrage" method. Today, let's analyze top information sources on YouTube:
1⃣ Influencer interview podcasts (Video Podcasts): Don't just listen to commentary, listen directly to the founders speak! Lenny's Podcast, Lex Fridman, Dwarkesh Podcast. Watching how Cursor CEO and Dia founder discuss their product journey is more effective than reading ten press releases.
2⃣ Top conference recordings (Conference Talks): YC Startup School, AI Engineers World Fair, Sequoia AI Ascent. Talks by big names like Andrew Ng, Greg Brockman are all available in high-definition original versions on YouTube. You can get top-tier insights without attending in person.
3⃣ Official channels (Official Channels): OpenAI, Anthropic. For new model releases and technical details, watch official videos from Sam Altman or Anthropic researchers directly—no middlemen to take a cut.
4⃣ Hands-on tutorials (Hands-on Tutorials): Mckay Wrigley, Riley Brown. These experts excel at explaining complex technology in plain language, so even liberal arts students can understand how to do "Vibe Coding."
5⃣ The only true master (Andrej Karpathy): As co-founder of OpenAI and a top educator, his videos must be studied frame by frame, explaining LLMs in a way that even beginners can understand.
Stop wasting time scrolling through marketing accounts. The core logic is "decentralization." Connecting directly to information sources is the only way to earn money through cognitive monetization in this AI era.
